I started when I was 12, so now it's been 38 years off & on. My folks weren't really into fishing, so I learned how through the Boy Scouts and friends. My grandfather liked to fish so when he retired I would hang out with him fishing for bluegills and crappies. Most of my adult life I spent in Wyoming & Montana fishing for trout. Now I'm in Alabama taking up bass fishing and am learning to baitcast.
I taught my son at about 10, he is now 23 and has a little more experience on bass than me. I love getting outdoors spending time with my kids just chillin.
